Even though the fans that the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming uses are excellent, the lack of proper ventilation holes in the backplate make it very easy to trap heat inside the card. To compensate for that you need to make sure that there's proper ventilation inside the chassis.

The GTX 1060 G1 Gaming has a metal back-plate which covers the back of the card. However, it does not have any ventilation gaps or holes. This can easily create issues with heat being trapped inside the card.

The MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X has achieved a Firestrike score of 12010, one of the highest as far as GTX 1060 cards go. For that price it's more powerful than some other, more expensive cards on the market.

The MSI Gaming X version of the GTX 1060 requires a single 8-pin power connector, while the reference GTX 1060 only requires a single 6-pin power connector. MSI has used a more powerful connector in order to create more overclocking headroom, but this might be an issue for gamers with a limited ava...

The cooler used in the Asus GTX 1060 Strix is the same that's used on the 1070 version and the 1080 Rog Strix. This means that the cooler is designed and built for much more powerful cards and that the cooling potential for the GTX 1060 Strix is excellent considering how it's the least powe...

Even with three quite large fans, the Inno3D GeForce GTX 1060 iChiLL X3 is very quiet. Under e certain temperature the fans do not spin and once that threshold has been surpassed, they start spinning but even then the noise is just a barely-audible hum which can only be heard in an extremely quiet...

Priced at £328, it's a little more expensive than the average GTX 1060 card. For having a slightly higher price than the average you would expect this to have slightly higher benchmark results than the average GTX 1070 card which it does not.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming ACX 2.0 is quite compact and features a cooler that only has a single fan. A reference GTX 1060 has a length of 9.8 inches (250 mm), while the EVGA ACX 2.0 reduces this to only 6.8 inches (173 mm). This makes the card ideal for use in smaller enclosures.

The MSI GeForce 6GT OC has been slightly overlocked to a base clock of 1544 MHz, which is a 38 MHz over a reference GTX 1060. The boost clock of the graphic card has also been given a slight boost: 1759 MHz compared to the standard 1708 MHz. This is still lower than any other GTX 1060 card (other t...

The GTX 1060 6GT from MSI only features a single DisplayPort, HDMI-port and DVI-D connector. A reference GTX 1060 offers three DisplayPort connectors. This can be an issue for people who plan on using multiple DisplayPort monitors.

The Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Mini is the smallest GTX 1060 card on the market. While size is not a very important factor when choosing a graphics card, it's still something to consider. For special cases where the build needs to be super compact, the Zotac GTX 1060 Mini is a perfect fit.

The Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Dual is a very silent card, despite having two large fans. Fans stay off for temperatures under 50 degrees C and even when operating under heavy load, only a barely audible hum can be heard.
